Show No Worse Fnte for ilrl. We can conceive of no worse fate for a pure girl than this to marry while in a dream, says the New York Herald; to exaggerate a man's good qualities until nothing else is , visible; to minimize his vices until they disappear; to have a brief honeymoon of measureless bliis; then to see the man as he is and as others have always seen him coarse, common, vulgar, vicious and even cruel; to learn to loathe herself because she was such a fool as to throw her life away; to curse her parents because they did not take her by force and throw her into a cell, a dungeon, any place of confinement, until she came to her senses; to be beaten, neglected, unprovided for, sneered at by the man who she once thought a god well, to endure such a fate as this is so awful that even human sympathy sym-pathy avails nothing to assuage the sorrow. |
